By Hatch's other electric children, Bryan is considered very immature, causing him not to be very popular with the rest of them, and also is the target of some cruel jokes by the other boys. For example, Quentin put dog feces in his bed for him to sleep on. He learns about this when the Elgen youths are talking to Michael before Michael's execution. His immature personality also gets on Hatch's nerves during times. He is not very respected by 'The Family' or the Electroclan.

In Storm of Lightning he tells Quentin about Welch's impending fate, causing Quentin to decide to overthrow Hatch and take control of the Elgen. Bryan joins Quentin as a result. After Hatch finally finds out about Quentin's betrayal and planned mutiny, Hatch, enraged, has all 5 Glows arrested. Bryan is imprisoned.

In Fall Of Hades Bryan doesn't actually appear, but it's mentioned that he's imprisoned in the Elgen Kremlin. Bryan betrays Quentin and rejoins Hatch. Unlike Quentin, Torstyn, and Tara, Bryan is currently scheduled to be released.

In The Final Spark, Bryan appears with Dr. Hatch, Zara, and Kylee when Hatch meets the Electroclan to introduce them to Zara. He is insulted by Quentin a few times, and he punches Quentin in the face twice. After that he is never heard from again. He was killed during Michael and Enele Saluni's attack on the Elgen Kremlin.
